There are many roles for the teaching to consider with the online learning format. Communication, fostering a learner-centered environment, structuring problem-based learning, and providing meaningful, informative feedback are all essential.
I've learned the importance of feedback. I will use this to make sure my communication with students is meaningful and guides them to our learning goals.
I believe using different methods to encourage participation will help for a more meaningful dialogue and more communication between myself and the students in between the students themselves.
I realize how important being proactive in my syllabi (detailed expectations and information) as well as lesson presentations are by using as many of these techniques emphasized throughout this module. As an instructor our role is all encompassing on many fronts to ensure an enironment that is engaging,motivating and informative throughout the course designed with the student's needs being paramount. Feedback and prompt responeses are critical to develop an environment that is welcoming and inclusive.
Feedback is the key for the teacher to gauge the students learning.
Positive feedback is a great way to encourage course participation. I think students will be more motivated to participate in a course if they are guided by an active instructor that constantly provides feedback.
Online instructors, as do F2F teachers, have many roles: instructor, social director, program manager, and technical assistant. A high degree of interaction between the instructor and student, student to student, and student to instructor best helps students meet learning outcomes.
Engaging the students in online learing is very difficult. It is even more diffucult when you can't see the students but just delivering the lecture. Making sure the students, again, have the proper tools to engage in the classroom virtually is of great importance.
This section did a good job outlining the key responsibilities of instructors and the importance of clear and precise communication with the students.
Reviewing the course and feedback to better the course for the students.
Encourage student engagement along with facilitation.
Student feedback is vital to assessing how well the students are learning.
Feedback is very important, maintaining as much as possible the positivity, encourage therm on how to improve and providing the support necessary. The more we explain the easier it will be for the student.
Providing students feedback in a timely manaer is important.
I learned the importance of being a facilitator to student learning and that communicating course expectations to students is important to promote success in the course. As a facilitator I will need to have good communication and feedback. I will need to provide a learner centered environment and broblem based learning opportunities will bring on the best active engagement from learners.
It is important to survey your students and the course by student feedback, are the students about average in there grades are they reaching grades that you would expect of are they below average this isone of the most important things to watch for to let you knoe that they are getting what you are presenting.
Hello Everyone,
One the most important take aways that I've learned fro, this module was to encourage a high degree of participation and interactivity and to help learners feel comfortable with technology. In my remote courses online, I have learned that when students are unfamiliar with the technology, they are prone not to show up or participate. I have also noticed that by makeing the class as interative as possible, by asking questions, calling students by name, and having everyone turn on their cameras, the class is more entertaining. When learners are engage, learning becomes fun and pleasant process.
Good communication between student-student and instructor-student should be established early in the course.
Feedback is crucial as it shows areas of improvement and also as an educator, it helps you to better understand the student and their learning style.
